Historie forenzní psychologie v Čechách a na Slovensku je popsána v řadě psychologických a kriminologických publikacích obvykle v rámci úvodních kapitol. Tyto texty se však liší v různých aspektech: vymezení začátku forenzní psychologie či popsání historického vývoje forenzní psychologie. Cílem tohoto článku je nahlédnout do historie forenzní psychologie do začátku druhé světové války a poukázat na to, jak je prezentována v české a slovenské psychologické literatuře. Na základě této exkurze byly také doplněny různé informace dohledáním primárních zdrojů. and The history of forensic psychology in Czech Republic and Slovakia is described in many psychological or criminological publications usually in the introductory chapters. These texts, however, differ in different aspects: definition of the beginning of forensic psychology and the description of the historical development of forensic psychology. The aim of this article is to present how forensic psychology’s history till the beginning of WWII is represented in Czech and Slovak psychological literature, and further to fill in missing information by searching for primary sources.
The article focuses on the origin of information in the text of Schaller's Topographie des Königreiches Böhmen. It attempts to identify the information obtained from questionnaires sent to clergy, which is seen as the main contribution of Schaller's work and his own research of sources.
The present paper studies the charters and letters originating during the Catholic trade embargo first imposed against the Czech Hussites between 1420 and 1436, and reassumed in the late 1460s and early 1470s. The different types of documents are first studied with regard to their formal characteristics and their classification in terms of late medieval diplomatics. Secondly, lost correspondence is reconstructed in order to demonstrate the great void of missing documents, preventing us from truly grasping the widespread use of the written word during the Hussite Wars. Thirdly, the publication of papal and royal mandates enforcing the anti-Hussite embargo is analysed to demonstrate both the practical use of the documents in question, and their importance for Catholic anti-Hussite policy.
